In its initiative to add value to the retail banking sector, CONFTECH ASIA is proud to introduce Future Retail Banking Summit 2019.

With an exciting mix of panels, strategic discussions and case studies on the programme, participants will be exposed to innovative solutions as well as practical strategies for digital transformation, new technology integration, open banking and new branch strategies to shape the future of retail banking in Asia.

Hi everyone! Nice to e-meet you! Here are a few things you should know about me.

I am a conscientious, open minded, adaptable to new experiences and ambitious Business Development Manager with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics - Banking, Finance and Accountancy. Through my studies I've also obtained many naturopathic and nutrition degrees as well. Part-time jobs have added marketing, network marketing, event management and store management skills to my experience through my career.

Through my career I have also been a Hotel Manager and owned a Bar/Restaurant & Internet Cafe. My online marketing and social media interactivity experience was gained when me and my husband started a business with an online/organic webshop & healthy lifestyle consultancy.

I've improved my English at Cambridge Academy of English - 2003, in Cambridge. I live a conscious lifestyle, and try to protect the ecosystem. Animal lover and capable of helping others without judgement or negative reactions, this is thanked to my knowledge in holistic therapies and the naturopathy courses I've followed.

I cannot leave far my spiritual growth and the continuous development in alternative and holistic therapies, so I'm learning at Kyron School of New Consciousness, receiving a Bio Energo-therapist diploma.

Thanks to all my experiences I've decided to venture into publishing and writting, while also continuing to learn many new things daily. I hope you enjoy reading my hand picked PICANTE News and check back for my weekly articles. You can find my articles and news digests in the following categories:

Ric Edelman, one of the nation’s most prominent financial advisors and creator of The Advisor Blockchain and Cryptoassets Council, held the third meeting of this growing group of influencers on March 20 at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.

Immediately following the morning meeting, ABCC partnered with Barron’s to stage the Blockchain and Cryptoasset pre-event, in conjunction with the Barron’s Top Independent Advisor Summit. The event offered Continuing Education Credits to those in attendance.

Nearly 80% of the financial advisors attending the event said they know little to nothing about blockchain and cryptoassets, and 97 percent said they do not recommend cryptoassets to clients.

“The lack of knowledge by so many of the nation’s leading financial advisors demonstrates the urgency of teaching advisors about this important emerging asset class,” said Edelman, who has been named three times by Barron’s as the nation’s #1 Independent Financial Advisor. He noted that 80 percent of the advisors surveyed said clients are asking them about cryptoassets and added, “Advisors who can’t answer their clients’ questions about bitcoin will lose credibility with their clients, and they may end up losing the clients.”

CoinAll Launches a New-User Campaign to Expand Community

CoinAll hastoday announced the launch of a new user campaign which will last a month and features a 10,000 USDT bonus pool. Users who complete the two-task mission will have a chance to share in the bonus. The campaign comprises two tasks. In task one, new users have to register on CoinAll and pass KYC1 verification. In the second task, new users need to deposit CoinAll-listed cryptocurrencies into their accounts. Upon completion of the two tasks, they will get the bonus. The campaign is open to all digital asset traders from around the world.

“Community is the foundation of CoinAll. We hope to make it larger and stronger. Together with our users, we endeavor to make the industry better in the near future,” said Katherine Deng, General Manager of CoinAll.

CoinAll is a community-driven exchange, which means the users of the CoinAll community have the power to influence the development of the exchange. CoinAll also launches various promotions for the community as well.

For example, the blockchain quiz show “Who Wants to Be a COINALL-inaire” hosted in March, featured the industry’s first “decentralized question bank” and attracted hundreds of thousands of participants. By answering 10 questions correctly, users could take home hundreds of USDT in prizes. While enjoying the fun and bonuses, users also broadenedtheir knowledge about blockchain technology.

By offering a variety of campaigns, CoinAll has rapidly established a community of tens of thousands of members.

Besides community development, CoinAll also spares no effort in offering high-quality blockchain projects to traders. For example, COSM, which will be supported by Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone and is the first dApp partner of Samsung, was one of the very first offerings by the exchange. CoinAll has also listed other well-received projects such as BTT, ZIL, ONT, and Grin.

As an fast-emerging exchange, CoinAll was recognized as thefirst strategic partner of OKEx, the top-class exchange in the world. CoinAll is showing great ambition, pledging to become top-20 exchange in the world within 1 year with the help of OKEx.

“We feel grateful to our users,” said Katherine Deng. “And we want to give back to our community and make it larger and stronger. This time, our new campaign also reflects our great determination that CoinAll will continuously offer projects of high quality and good trading experience to global users.”
